Children Going Back-To-School Increasingly Login to Educational Teaching Games

(PRWEB) - (PRWEB) August 25, 2005 -- Parents have struggled for years with different approaches to helping their children keep up in reading and math. The computer and internet have become valuable tools for parents. Online learning can help children excel at these core subjects since today's online educational teaching games and learning software blur the distinction between games and lessons. Time4Learning.com, an online learning center, offers tips for selecting and using educational teaching games in reading and math for children from preschool to fifth grade.

Preschool online games for reading offer preschoolers a chance to develop phonological awareness, master phonics, and start to develop their own interactive stories and writing skills. As kids grow, so should their reading comprehension and grammar skills. Online elementary games offer kids an opportunity to explore language arts while having fun.

How can kids math games help ensure success?Many kids feel that they "can't do math" and shy away from practicing math problems. For children with weak basic math skills, the subject is difficult and confusing. Many parents hear from their children that math problems are boring, not important or not cool. Kids math games can help children develop a solid math foundation and make math "fun."

What types of educational teaching games are available?- Learning Games on CDs - These can be bought in most stores.- These games are a lot of fun with some educational components included.- The downside is that most "learning games" tend to be more game than lesson. An upside is that CDs work even when there's no net access.

- Free Educational Game Sites - There are a lot of websites with "learning and games". But, these sites can be very commercial. Some even invite children to download games which contain spyware and viruses. These sites are similar to CDs in that they tilt towards games with limited educational substance.

- Free Learning Sites - Free learning sites range from those that provide worksheets to those with interactive exercises. But, it is left to the parent to provide continuity, determine progress, and to assemble an over-all program.
